    I still remember going out to Pukekoe one weekend around that time and a guy was there in his 308 (red). Had an engine problem, blew smoke down the front straight. Guy had a beard that's all I remember. I was a young bloke who loved the car and I remember going over to talk to him. I often think about that guy when at track as it brings back memories. :)

    I don't know RB (not big in size), I just wish the guy was around so I could say that seeing him was great motivation for me as kid to work hard (I was 20 at the time). It was so long time ago but as I said he was just a really nice guy and took the time out to chat to me while looking in his engine bay.

    True, can vouch for that as you didnt want to look like a "wannabe". Although I wish the young girl had of taken her suit off as she would have looked much better than just wearing half of it.....;) Although I think it was a ploy to distract her competitors.

    People called them 930 from 1975 until 1989 AFAIK.

    I don't know why you'd even discuss a 3.0. They were never implessive.

    the 3.3 compared to a boxer/testa

    dumbo!! your post!! GTB quicker than 3.0l turbo.

    3.3l was considered super car like boxer and testa. you're off the planet. you hate it when you're wrong....yet it happens so often.

    Were did "I" say the GTB was quicker?
    laughs so the 3.3l was with about 50bhp more but not the 3.0l car some 3 years before,idiot,once again when wrong or shown up you go on the attack with personel unfound comments.

    what the?? I just showed you your post where you said it quoting Minogue. What's wrong with you?? (rhetorical)

    and yes....3.3l was a HUGE performance jump over the 3.0l

    The fact that you don't know this highlights your lack of knowledge, again.

    the 930 3.0l turbo is the most signifcant Porsche ever made.

    It was your post.

    yes...it was a huge jump....a 3.0l was a nothing car....a 3.3l was a car that's still significant today.

    I think you've clearly demonstrated what you know.

    my post but not my personel comment,correct?
    a nothing car ,laughs,Ferry Porsche regards it as the most signifcant car they built.
    I must ask Joe Sackey about the 3.0l car and your comments,how much it would show you up again.

    If it was slower around a track than a GTB, then it wasn't a significant performer. The End.

    Give up! It was your post....or are you saying Minogue doesn't know what he's talking about?

    My post were i gave the thoughts of an owner of both cars,not my thoughts .
    Bob knows far more then you or me about the 2 cars,your the clown comparing a '86 car with a GTB.
    So you know more about 930 3.0l cars then either Ferry Porsche or Joe Sackey,your idiot.,just take a BEX and go to bed.
    The 3.0l was the most signifcant Porsche built "Ferry Porsche"

    why did you compare a 3.3l turbo with a much older car?
    when in fact it should have been compared with a 3.0l 930.
    Once again you are twisting the argument for all to see with laughable comments,in fact PMs to be suggest once again you are a joke,are you a joke?
